She does come across as somewhat entitled... *It must be difficult boating in ermine & a tiara.

The old git curmudgeon seems to have gone away. Perhaps the battery has finally gone flat. There is a god.

I know you are attempting to provide some proof but it's actually impossible for a god to exist. It can't happen because for a god to exist there must have been a beginning of some sort. Given that the world never started and will never end the concept of a "god" or other deity is totally impossible. It is true that occasionally people turn up on the conveyor belt and manage to convince large numbers of other people about all this but it's not actually true. It's similar to the "wheels on the bus go round and round all day long". A basic fallacy. The whole object of a bus is to stop regularly. During these times the only way to keep the wheels going round and round is to elevate the vehicle from the ground. Nobody does this. Similar problem with the god theory. Basic impossibility. HRH

Basics are she got a mobile welder round who needed power for his welder, she asked if she could run a lead from the CRT office adjacent, they said no, tantrums ensued. Not a very good mobile welder if they didn’t have a generator.

Not a very good mobile welder if they didn’t have a generator. Anything welding wise that runs of a 13a plug top is pretty marginal for up to 6mm thick material before you run out of duty cycle nevermind the volt drop on a mega long extension lead to get you from an office to canalside anything that runs on a 13a plug top will struggle to run on a typical single phase domestic generator. the only answer to mobile MMA welding is to have a welding genset - hoping to run off a Mickey Mouse genny or plug into an office ring main with an extension lead sounds like a hiding to nothing to me. OHMS law - you can’t defeat it.

Yes. And also one wonders what exactly was going to be welded.
The original story seemed to revolve around the possibility that elum pole (rudder post) had been cut and welded back together. It will be a 1.5 inch solid steel bar. So it would want to be welded properly IF that was the job in hand.
Perhaps the cause of the problem was a 13a socket in the first place. Insufficient penetration for the job in hand.
If it wasn't that then what was the geyser intending to weld ?
Could be the rudder blade but doesn't really make sense to cut that off.
ETA with a good bank of high discharge lithium batteries you could run a pretty sensible welder without mains or a generator. But it would want to be a pretty good set up.

You are likely looking at 1 1/4” up - our rudder stock is 1 1/8” on a 27’ cruiser - your guess of 1 1/2” may prove to be accurate - you ain’t welding that satisfactorily with a 13a buzz box afloat.

Narrow boats I have looked at have had 1.5" / 38mm or 40mm rudder posts. For all the faults presented by TonyDunkley he does know his shit. Gets very annoying but when he comes out with proper info it is usually pretty good. We do not know what has happened and probably in about 99.9% of cases nobody gives a monkeys but it's quite an interesting technical problem when the tiller no longer moves the rudder.

For what it's worth ... the issue was never what he knew ... only that socks said quite clearly and specifically on page 3, the matter was resolved to her satisfaction and closed.
Whether the boat's fixed or not it is down to her choice ... her decision.

Given that the world never started and will never end the concept of a "god" or other deity is totally impossible. The basic problem with Christianity (and all other religions) is that it is a faith, and by the very definition of the word "faith" it requires belief in a construct for which there is no scientific evidence.

Whereas the belief that covid is a hoax is totally different. No, it's the same really. There is no evidence for the existence of God, there is no evidence that millions of people have died of Covid in the UK, as was the prediction in 2020. But you believe what you want.

OHMS law - you can’t defeat it. I still have to run a 6kva diesel genset to run a little a little inverter welder. It’s enough for me. All though I would like to be able to weld from solar which I think is possible if I buy another inverter and double them up. I have enough amps in the summer it would be worthwhile. The Honda petrol genset I used to have was brilliant but exspensive to run. But you would think a mobile welder might have one in a van.

That's absolutely correct. There is no evidence that millions of people have died of Covid in the UK. The figure currently stands at a paltry 147k.
